	Telegraph Avenue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Telegraph Avenue is a street which begins, at its southernmost point, in the midst of the historic downtown district of Oakland, California and ends, at its northernmost point, at the southern edge of the University of California, Berkeley campus in Berkeley, California.
		The Telegraph Road followed the route of present day Telegraph Avenue from Downtown Oakland to Temescal, then ran along what is now Claremont Avenue over the hills into Contra Costa County, where it followed the path that Highway 24 now takes.
		In the 1950s the campus expanded south to Bancroft Way; Telegraph Avenue was shortened by 1½ blocks and buildings were demolished to make room for Sproul Plaza and several other new buildings including the new student union building.
